Here’s looking at you, USA!
Between the World Cup games, baseball, multiple nights of fireworks, and the flotilla of international sailing ships in New York’s harbor, it’s a jam-packed holiday weekend. Especially with all the visiting soccer fans from around the globe.
Watching the Capitol Fourth on PBS tonight is one of my go-to celebrations. I was at the 1990 concert and sat on the U.S. Capitol lawn to hear the amazing music. The 1812 Overture, complete with the military cannons, is my all-time favorite! Go Army!
Of course, it did look like they were launching the Washington Monument into space with the massive fireworks.
While we may still be considered a young country by others, we are definitely in our terrible teenage years right now. We are a dysfunctional family on a good day, but we’ve recently taken sibling strife to a new level. But we will get it together and grow up. Because it’s going to take us another 250 years to fix all the new challenges!
Thank heavens we have brilliant young citizens who are charging forward. Us vintage citizens will help all we can.
So, enjoy all the parties! Large or small. Hot dogs, potato chips, and ice cream are in my immediate future!
If you need a summer read that has human fireworks, cats, and turkeys, my latest romantic comedy book is out.

This was a very fun book for me to write about two Navy veterans forced to work together.
Which is why I want to say a huge thank you to all our active duty, reserve, and National Guard troops working around the clock all over the world to keep us safe. I salute the National Guard, Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard members, veterans, and their families who know the true cost of freedom. This celebration is for all of you!
I encourage veterans and pets to wear noise protection headphones and find a quiet spot, if needed. Sending hugs to you.
And everybody else be SAFE with the fireworks!
Smokey Bear and all his firefighter troops are on high alert right now.
Here’s to learning from our first 250, so we get the next 250 right.
Happy Birthday America!
Let’s Party!
